RaceAmerica Model 3220 Timer SBD

MAINTENANCE

The 3220 Series Console, Beam Emitter, and 

Track Sensors do not require any maintenance.

To insure uninterrupted operation on raceday, 

it is suggested to keep track of battery usage hours 
so as to have fully charged batteries.   Plan to re-
place the ‘C’ cells in the Beam Emitter after about 
200 hours use.  If you are using rechargeable ‘C’ 
cells, recharge them each day.  Low battery volt-
age (Emitter voltage below 4.3VDC) will cause 
intermittent operation of the system resulting in 
intermittent events at the finish line as the battery 
power weakens.

To  maintain  the  highest  level  of  timing 

accuracy  and  minimize  false  trips,  annual  pre-
ventative maintenance and calibration should be 
performed on all system track sensors and beam 
emitter units.

SPARE PARTS

  Further  to  minimize  race  program  inter-

ruptions, RaceAmerica recommends some spare 
parts.  A spare emitter/sensor pair and end of track 
cable sections should be available in the event of 
an unfortunate accident during a program.  Con-
tact RaceAmerica for availability and pricing of 
spares items.

SUPPORT AGREEMENTS

  Support  agreements  are  available  from 

RaceAmerica providing Telephone Assistance on 
technical issues and operational questions, repair 
and/or replacement of hardware failures, Software 
and  Firmware  updates  and  bug  reporting,  and 
Annual Preventative Maintenance on all system 
track  sensors  and  beam  emitter  units.    Contact 
RaceAmerica  for  more  information  and  pricing 
of Support Agreements.

WIN LIGHT ASSEMBLY 

The  win  lights  are  assembled  by  screwing 

the post into the base and then attaching the Win 
Light with a 1/4-20 bolt at the top of the post -  
connector down.  The connector on the win light 
assembly connects into the interconnect cable’s 
matching connector.
